1. Filtration membranes for liquid phase separations
According to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), a synthetic membrane (as opposed to biological membranes) can be defined as "a structure with lateral dimensions much greater than its thickness, through which a transfer of matter can take place under the action of driving forces of different kinds" .
A membrane is generally used to separate a feed fluid into two distinct fractions: a retentate/concentrate and a permeate (figure 1 ). A separation...
